Reset XWiki Statistics

[AutomationX]

Dear Devs,

we are starting to use the xwiki statistics application. Is there any more documentation than in the extension page and here ?

1. Where is the statistics data saved? I guess in the database schema? I located the tables xwikistatsdoc, xwikistatsreferer, xwikistatsvisit , is that everything thats recorded?
2. How long is data retained? e.g. the past year or … ?
3. Is there an official way to reset statistics data?
   3.1 if not, would you deem it safe to just delete the contents of xwikistatsdoc, xwikistatsreferer, xwikistatsvisit ?

Thanks!

Yes in those tables. See https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/DevGuide/DatabaseSchema/

@AutomationX

Forever!

Right now you’ll need to regularly clean them if you need to.

@AutomationX

Is there an official way to reset statistics data?

Not right now.

@AutomationX

if not, would you deem it safe to just delete the contents of xwikistatsdoc, xwikistatsreferer, xwikistatsvisit ?

Yes. I don’t think we have an API to remove stats ATM (cannot find it in XWikiStatsStoreService).

Note: We recommend using Piwiki/Mamoto or some similar tools for stats when possible.
